Of Harare WordCamp 2018

In a few days theWordPress local community of Harare brings you the 2018 WordCamp Harare. 23-24 November 2018

A WordCamp is a conference organized to host WordPress practitioners ranging from the occasional blogger to digital experts and those curious about dipping their toes in the interwebs.

If you are reading this post (which is on a blog powered by WordPress and you have website or blog which runs on WordPress) you should be asking yourself why you aren’t attending a WordCamp near you; look them up.

This will be the third WordCamp to be held in Harare and its growing bigger and better; now it’s a two day event including a contributor’s day and even a junior workshop.

The highlight of WordCamp is presentations from volunteer speakers who are simply ordinary WordPressers such as you, sharing on topics they are passionate about, you can have a look at the speaker line up here and the schedule here

The first WordCamp I attended
changed my life and I was inspired to apply to be a speaker at the next one,
and this year guess what; I know one or two people who were inspired by my
presentation that they too have decided to step up.

On contributor’s day you can actively contribute to the WordPress Community by working on the following activities:

Translation of WordPress into Shona

Add subtitles to videos from previous WordCamps

Gutenberg testing

Community planning for 2019

Did I mention The WordCamp Juniors Workshop, so for the 9 and 15 range here’s bootcamp for them to learn to express themselves in blogs and also a foundation they can build on to be expert users of the WordPress platform. Its for free too but the are limited places only 20 available seats and when I last checked there were only 7 left so register quickly click here!!

Have you ever been to a WordCamp do share your thoughts? Will you be there??? Cause I will and yeah I am speaker too and I will be speaking on how A Blog Means Community ^_^

Absolutely love you’re always a step ahead. I’m taking notes.
It’s my first time attending one of these and I’m nervous AF you would think I’ve never spoken in front of people before. I’m excited to listen in on everyone’s contributions though and I can’t wait to meet Rumbi of Zimbo Kitchen 🙂

They are FUN!!!!!!!!
My topic will be on how misunderstood blogging is most people seem to think its online diary, well tht might be how it started but its transcended that its a perspectives changing tool and a builder of communities
